The Globe/Bootleg

AllMusic Review
by Stephen Thomas Erlewine

Although the second incarnation of Big Audio Dynamite doesn't sound all that different from the first, Mick Jones's songwriting and concepts are reinvigorated on The Globe, making it one of the best B.A.D. albums. It also ranked as their most commercially successful in the U.S., where "Rush" hit the Top 40, with the title track also charting. The Alex label's 1993 reissue also includes a bonus disc titled Bootleg.
